My introduction to Elmore Leonard was visual, the movies Get Shorty and Jackie Brown plus was a big fan of the show Justified starring Leonard's creation Rayland Givens (played by Timothy Olyphant who was a co-star in another of my favorite shows Deadwood). I started reading some of his novels and was hooked.
Just finished Cooler Than Cool: The Life and Works of Elmore Leonard by C.M. Kushins. It was a good book which I'd heartily recommend. Leonard's writing was once described as being between "pure genre and literature." I'd agree and if you're a fan of Leonard think you'd enjoy this book too.
